SO Helibars have come out with up and back risers - I wonder how these will work to me that is a real win if they will work. I read over the install directions and nothing mentioned about requiring to lengthen cables etc. I suspect it has been achieved by offset drilling to also provide setback? ( asking don't know 
Regardless if they work , outside of the branding which I assume can be painted if need be , they would make the bars closer thus reducing forward lean by a whopping 3/8 of an inch more - Who ever said a little bit more does not matter ...

As said before, no interference, it's also important to note that those photos were with no load on the front fork. When sitting on the bike there is more clearance as well between the bars and the screen.

I suspect that by design on the first image you will notice the entire piece is slanted rearward or set back by 3/8 of an inch. The top bolts down no different then others but is actually drilled closer or setback? I'm guessing here but the bottom bolts would be identical for connection.

Jgarcia would you be kind enough to take photos of install if any different, and what you immediately found in real life set back. I will go this route once you have replied back assuming they deliver the additional set- back . Truly appreciate the intel
I'm suprised Heli-bars is not actually making Heli-bars for the gen3, only their offset riser.
I would think that gen1 or 2 Heli-bars would work on the gen3, maybe only having to drill new switch locator holes???
Anyone able or willing to try that has them?

do you have the part number/link to the gel seat?

I took it to a upholstery shop they took the cover off seat and took some foam out and put gel pad inside for $60 most upholstery shops can do in less then 30 minutes... was gonna get the oem grip seat but it's grey and red and herd it's alot firmer then stock seat also didn't want to spend $500 on seats covered in kanji symbols.
I find those big 'ol riser blocks to looks so clumsy...be nice if they come up with a sleeker design....one goes out and gets a brand new shiny state of the art bike only to have to resort to a big chunk of aluminum to make it comfortable.
I agree

" to make it comfortable" : In a perfect world the OEM would deliver the bike with the setback risers and lowered pegs for the 80% who are going to ride them spiritedly, and offer another version for the 20% who are going to track them. Maybe my numbers are off but my point is this is exactly what happens with almost every OEM. They deliver something everyone of us have to modify! It happened with my Harley, My Bandit, My KTM, My BMW ... Supertramp wrote the rest " Dreamer "

I think most of us prefer to mod our bikes specifically to what we want anyway...and then like to b*tch that we Had to do that to make it right, lol
That makes sense...as we saw, there was a myriad of aftermarket things for the gen 3 right out of the gate, why couldn't have a proper handlebar riser and lowering pegs be offered...If Suzuki did all this time and effort researching the direction gen 1 and 2 Hayabusa riders took with our bikes, they would have picked up on the fact many of them have Heli bars and lowering pegs...instead they moved the bars back 12mm which does nothing to raise them up.." to make it comfortable" : In a perfect world the OEM would deliver the bike with the setback risers and lowered pegs for the 80% who are going to ride them spiritedly, and offer another version for the 20% who are going to track them.

Instead gen 3 riders are stuck with a big ugly block of blackened aluminum to raise up their bars...

Super interested to see how these install and are different from the Moto CNC riser block. 3/8 of an inch is a lot of slop in bolt hole alignment and for 60$ more I'm not seeing anything different in the design that creates that drop back. Sure would be nice to have though!
